Inventors! Do you have an invention or new product idea, but don't know what to do next? If so, InventHelp® has free information to help you get started!

InventHelp®, "The Invent Help People," is America's largest inventor service firm, with sales offices in more than 50 cities in the United States, Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, South Africa and Korea. Our company helps inventors try to submit their new invention ideas to industry in hopes of obtaining a good-faith review. InventHelp® also provides patent referral services.

InventHelp's experienced team of researchers, illustrators and writers can prepare materials to assist in presenting our clients' inventions to companies. As part of our inventor services, we also offer the Virtual Invention Prototype™ (VIP) CD-ROM. At the click of a mouse, the VIP displays an invention as a 3-D model that can be viewed from all sides and rotated 360°. With a second click, the Virtual Invention Prototype™ allows an invention to be viewed as a three-dimensional wire model. The VIP also displays the idea's primary advantages, features and market information.

For inventors who would like to attempt to patent an idea, we can refer them to a patent attorney to provide a preliminary U.S. patent search and opinion, as well as preparation and prosecution of a U.S. patent application for the client's new product idea. In both of these instances, we refer clients to an independent patent attorney to undertake this work on their inventions.

Additionally, each year InventHelp® holds the Invention & New Product Exposition (INPEX®), America's largest inventor trade show. Now entering its 23rd year, INPEX® provides a forum for inventors and entrepreneurs to exhibit their inventions and try to make contacts with companies looking for new products. The show also provides several educational opportunities, such as the INPEX® Inventors University™ and Inventors Resource Center.

If you have a new invention, or even an idea for an improvement on an existing product, "The Invent Help People" can provide you with free information about our invention submission and patent referral programs. Simply fill out the Inventor Information Request Form to find out how InventHelp® can assist you.
